The final resting place of Whale’s lumbering Frankenstein, DIY apocalypse carved from The Last Man on Earth and the ghoulish Carnival of Souls (in its way). Expressionism becomes architectural and liminal decay.

One of the masterworks of guerrilla filmmaking. Duane Jones is irreplaceably immense.

The Hays Code dies with a strangled whimper and atomic horror settles into undead fallout. Ramshackle, clumsy as it is genius and sharp. Blocking as precise as clockwork cutting, harshly, to handheld panic attacks and guerrilla frenzy. It’s fucking amazing. It’s just full stop fucking amazing.

Glasgow Smiley @neokefka99.bsky.social · 8h

yep, the last 15 minutes are basically "Poltergeist but stupid."

also the fact that Robert Joy's character is named Dr. West is adding to the general untrustworthy creepy guy vibes that comes with being played by Robert Joy.

okay so AMITYVILLE 3-D is going to go "Poltergeist but really stupid" in its last 15 minutes?

Glasgow Smiley @neokefka99.bsky.social · 9h

so my reviews of AMITYViLLE II & 3-D: "Yeah, I could have just watched THE BEYOND twice."

Glasgow Smiley @neokefka99.bsky.social · 9h

okay so the amityville house has now basically become the house from the grudge where if you spend any time inside it can get you anywhere you go.

Glasgow Smiley @neokefka99.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah, it's dopey alright.

Spoke too soon. Pipe through a car windshield and a burnt skeleton lunging towards the camera in quick succession.

Glasgow Smiley @neokefka99.bsky.social · 9h

...also for the chintzy 3-D installment there's been a major lack of shit flying at the screen.

AMITYVILLE, the franchise that thinks the sound of a fly buzzing is inherently ominous.

this movie has a scene involving a possessed elevator that's basically the droopy dog scene from ROGER RABBIT.

(it's not as amazing as it sounds)

oh no, imprint's putting out a slipcase / steelbook of THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER.

"Doesn't look like it has any different features than the Shout release. You don't have to import that!"

But it's got both posters as the cover art!
